WHY ARE WE NOT IN PARADISE? Poem by Ann Jäderlund

WHY ARE WE NOT IN PARADISE?



I am dying. Deep outside. Out of myself.
I was dying yesterday and since I was born.
I wasn't born out of myself. I am destroyed.
My body disjoints all I own. I can
not be in there.

Poems By Ann Jäderlund
Den som stiger upp i huvudet
Själen är ensam med sina tårar
In these despairing distances
The soul is alone with its tears
I dessa förtvivlade avstånd
